DefectManufacturing deviations may have occurred in the production process of high-voltage batteries installed in some vehicles produced/imported during a specific period. This could lead to microscopic defects in the cell anode or localized stress in the cell separator layer. In rare cases, this could increase the risk of injury to occupants and bystanders due to smoke or fire caused by high heat generation during high-voltage battery charging, leading to a recall.
